To q Child.

kiss you, dear, and very sweet is this,
To feel you not tainted by my kiss;
Cling with your warm. soft hands about me so.
Give me one small, sweet kiss and murmur low
In speech as sweet as broken music is.
How long shall Gcd my Lily darling give
Untainted by the shriekng world to live,
cannot tell; but this my wish shall be,
Longer at least than God has given me.
But still be glad; rs yet, you need not grieve.
There, see put the hair back from your face,
And if my lips in kissing should displace ~,
Your sunny hair, you will but laugh, my child,
A babbIng silver laugh and indebted.
God keep it SO through the allruling days.
But /, who in the darkness sit alone
With heart that, rebe, lious, now has grown
Too weak to strive with foes that sn1te unseen,
Will only ask you once your head to lean
Upon a heart where grief has made his throne.
I will not tell you of the things know,
i cannot bar the path that you must go;
Gods bitter lesson must be learnt by all,
But living will listen to your call,
And stretch to you a hand that you may know.
You feel the wind against you you run,
And love its strength and revel in the suu;>
So did l. and but for this last blow,
Of which none know me, might now;
But now for me the light of life is done.
These little hands that lose themselves in mine
May so-ue day haply in a an IS hair Irvine,
Willis meath their touch his heart shall palpitate
Then shall this soul with triumph be elate,
And MIX sharp poison in a maddening wine.
But see you keep your lips from tasting sweet,
For it beyets within suoh heat
AS cooling waters never allay.
We see through mists of blood and tears, the day,
Until we scken for the nigntfalrs feet.
There. there you're weary, and let you go,
But this kiss. softer than a q Ike of snow,
will remember when alone stand
wonder will you understand
The reason why loved and kissed you

A "Cane Rush" Student.

We packed a big trunk with his toys and his books,
And went with him down to the train
There Latin and Greek in his merrywise looks
And our pride a great our pain.
The swift train snatched him away from our signs.
But we knew he d come back BIZ and by.
With scholarship honor and medal and prize
For hope and ambition were high.
They brought him back home week and day
And the doctor who brought him said. Hush
For the side of his ear had been rastled away,
His eyes they were backed and his went astray
Two ribs stove IN, did the doctor man say,
And his legs they were bent in corkscrewish way.
Collision shrieked but he shook his head Nay
And smiled as he whispered. Cane rush"

But lone white silence on our lips.
All night the tall magnolia kept
Kind watch above the nameless tomb;
Two shapes kept watching in the gloom

All dew, their breath sweet prayer,
And as they wept the dead down there
Did feel their tears and hear their signs.

THE HISTORY
During the sojourn of Christ and his disciples
in Capernaum. on a certain Sabbath. probably
after the regular services in the synagogue, they
were returning home, and had occasion to walk
through a field of corn In that country where
there We're no highways or public roads, where
the common paths passed through the open
fields, it was common thing then. as it is to-
day, for the growing ripening grain to be with
in reach of your hand you journey along the
way, the disciples We're hungry, for they were
not allowed to eat until after the Sabbath SER
vice, according to the rule of the scribes. On
any week day it would have been lawful for
them hungry men to have plucked the corn
within reach and eaten it fDeut. %, 25) They
see wrong in doing it on the Sabbath and
though it is not said that the Lord took any of
it, yet he was very quick to defend his disciples
when the Pharisees charged them with wrong
doing. He justifies their course by the exam
pin of David whom they honored He then de-
right to declare what things are right and
wrong on the Sabbath. Afterward he establishes
that authority by working a great miracle
that day. This teaching and miracle led his
enemies to conspire together to prosecute and
destroy him.
APPLICATION
There is subject of greater interest or
more important to the church than this. There
is a tendency to break down and destroy the
careful observance of the day, and to bring in
the continental Sabbath. Christians are large
ly to blame for this, as they have in so many
ways violated the day. There is need of great
revival of Sabbath keeping.
l. The general command for keeping the day
stands the same in the past 1t is
unrepealed part of the moral law and connot
be altered and is of the universal obiga
ton as any other part of the Ten Command
mentS.
: 2 The spirit of the commandment to keep the
Sabbath holy and free from work is of far more
Importance than the mere letter
g. Both the letter and the spirit of the com
mandment are against making the Sabbath like
secular days in its pursuits and pleasures.
4. The command to keep the day holy rules
out the idea of secular reading social companies
and common week day pleasures.
5. Work and travel are in keeping with the
Christian Sabbath, when necessary to church
activities.
6. Works of mercy and deeds of charity
proper on the Sabbath.
Z. We have a right to the protection of the
state, that the Sabbath may be really day of
rest, and corporation be legally given
the right to compel to labor on that day,
or to interfere with the rest and worship of
others.
